Colour authority Dulux has revealed its colour forecast for 2019.

Today, where our attention is split by factors such as technology, social media and a never-ending influx of information, these four colour palettes have been carefully curated to inspire a sense of stillness, simplicity and honesty in the place we call home.

“It helps us mindfully tap out all the distractions and focus on the things that move and inspire us.

“Our confidence with colour is growing and with this, the drive to create spaces that reflect our history, hopes and dreams.”

Below, we take a closer look at the four palettes that will shape our abodes in the year ahead.

Repair

We’ve come to control just about every step in our days, from the bus we catch to work, to the music we listen to on the way. ‘Repair’, a palette inspired by nature and its unpredictable happenings, is a gentle reminder that life isn’t always as calculated, but rather, fragile.

Repair reflects on our desire to reconnect with nature with grounding neutrals, subdued greens and rich cinnamon and sienna shades.

“The Legacy palette is timeless, yet thoroughly modern. Think rich colour, classic furniture and sumptuous textiles used in unexpected ways. For example, these colours may be set against a streamlined backdrop or styled with an industrial edge,” says Andrea.

“Purple has emerged as a base colour and is softened by paler shades of lilac and mauve – it’s a palette to push your creative boundaries.”
